An inefficient property generates more maintenance calls. It wears out HVAC equipment faster. It leads to shorter tenancies and more turnover. And it's harder to market when a prospective tenant walks through on a hot afternoon, and the home never feels cool. Comfort is part of your product.

The most profitable turnover is the one that never happens. Retaining good tenants is far more cost-effective than finding new ones.

After receiving your notice, the tenant has 15 days to object to the deductions in writing. If they do not object within this timeframe, you may deduct the claimed amount and must return the remainder of the deposit to them within 30 days of your initial notice.
